@vgr Also with sufficient billions I'd push harder on the starchips project and maybe alternate approaches, and push to seed other planets & starsystems with bacteria
@vgr Ofc I'd also buy & massively fund my local news (ARLnow) to expand into other markets while collecting metrics on civic engagement... Anywhere I live or travel should have quality local news with a sense of humor
@vgr Also would pay for studies of systemic risk of cloud concentration and other technological risk, and pay to develop / improve alternatives to heavily relied upon software.... Like, Adobe, ♥️ u, but if I have enough money to not care, Gimp is getting forked
